“APC is my party, it made me what I am today by the grace of God. I am therefore calling on all my supporters to vote for the party from top to bottom in the forthcoming general elections,” he said.
In his remarks, Governor Aminu Bello Masari lauded the courage of the senator for accepting fate and giving back to the constituency.
He called on other politicians to emulate the gesture, saying it was a critical time when the party needed support from all those who benefitted from it as it faces general elections.
